Having problems with your Canon PowerShot G11 Digital Camera ?

Hi
Suddenly my g11 is blind
lcd is working but camera doesn't see anything
lcd is black in all modes
like electronic courtain does not open exposing sensor
all other functions are seems to be working
camera is actuallytaking black photos now
those taken previously can be still displayed from memory card

Answers :

There is two ways to view your "taking picture" with the LCD and with the viewfinder, you can shut the LCD off to save battery power and use the viewfinder and that is what I think has happened. a touch of the DISP button and it will switch from the LCD to the viewfinder. here is a diagram

DiagramWith you saying the LCD is working for functions but not for taking pictures this is what I suspect is the problem.

Can't get a picture on the screen - just shows black. When we turn the camera on the LCD screen displays the function choices and menu options, but will not display any image. If we take a picture using the view finder and then check for the image, nothing is displayed. We just checked the memory card, and it doesn't even take a photo. All we got was black. Any suggestions?

Camera digital display is not activated when the mode is in Photo or Video. It shows only black with some icons.But the digital display is functional when i am in Function set or Menu mode. This camera is just new, Would you provide me good solution?

My camera's screen works, but when I try to take a photo the screen remains black. I thought maybe it was just the display function, but I checked the resultant photos and they're just black rectangles. Any suggestions?

Canon A560 camera problem - the images are overexposed. I checked the exposure setting, AWB, and all other settings and they are all normal. There is an exposure setting where I can set to + or - 2, but setting it to -2 does not help much. Outdoor photos are almost completely white. There is some detail in black objects. Indoor photos are overexposed. Flash pictures seem OK. The picture on the display is OK. I compared some macro photos taken a few weeks ago with macro photos now. The good photo

LCD Black Camera seems OK all functions OK except LCD is black but icons are showing. No way I can take a photo as all is black. Please help.

Black scrren camera seems fully functioning but only takes black photos and i cannot see anything through the screen in camera mode

My EX Z1000 Casio digital camera has functioned perfectly till suddenly, without provocation, the screen refused to light up. Since then, all else seems normal, but no photo results from my use of the camera, only a black screen where the photo should be. I've already tried removing the battery for 30 seconds, but it makes no difference. Can you give me some suggestions about what to do?

The systems control board is defective or it has detected a problem with the camera "probably with the screen" this will be a very expensive repair and given the choice it will be cheaper in the long run to replace your item. ...

When i turn my camera on, it seems fine, all buttons functional. When i take a photo, it flashes, but no photo will pop up in my screen. Instead the screen stays black, and then the battery starts to get really warm. then i cant turn it on or off, the only way to get the batter to stop heating up, is to take it out of the camera. i can put the battery back in, turn it on again, but it will say no pictures had been taken, and the problem continues every time i try and use it. There is no history

Sd110 lcd My LCD did not work, canon repaired it....GREAT! but 2 weeks later it died. It was blank so I send it back and canon says they want money to fix. Damn.. It still takes photos with no problem. I cannot access any functions because the LCD won't work. I've tried the Display button and got the black and white screen of death. I have to take the card out to transfer photos. Canon says"UNIT HAS IMPACT/PRESSURE TO LCD". Do I need a new LCD or what. thanks, steve stokes

My Fuji A210 has slowly stop functioning.
It will display pictures but in the photo mode it will open the lens and then turn off. I found that if I apply an external voltage to the voltage jack on the outside of the camera and I increase the voltage from 3V to 3.6V this camera works great. Just as it did when new. It seems to me that something in the camera has increased in resistance to cause the internal logic to not function.

I might mispressed some function button, therefore, the screen is black and can't see any object. However, when I press the picture button, the camera did take the object's photo and can display on the screen.

Panasonic DMC TZ27 - takes photos fine - when switch to display photo, it seems to take ages to show photo and then get message "Thumbnail is displayed" - the photo then seems blurry, but when viewd on PC etc its fine. Previously had problem with camera when it frozen on zoom and it went away for repair under warranty and has been fine since,.... until now!,

My LCD goes partially black when I turn the camera on and shows a diagonal display of the photo from the upper left hand to lower right hand corners. The amount not black is not sufficient to take photos. I can make the LCD give a full display if I "jiggle" the photo settings devise from view to photo. I have tried this about thirty times and it always restores the LCD. I asked Canon Service Tech Support if the problem merited repair. Of course they said yes, but the flat rate they charge

My Canon G9 has a problem, where everything functions normally, except the viewing screen is black (the functions and menu show up though), and when you take a picture, the image is black. I can still play back photos before this happened and see them on the camera with no problem, but cannot take new photos. Any thoughts?

Look inside the lens while the camera is on - check the iris to see if it's open. It is similar to the iris in your eye. When the camera is in low light, the iris should open wider. Sometime the iris can get stuck due to moisture. Leave it in a dry e ...

I dropped my camera and since then I can take photos, the camera focuses, my display is fine when viewing previously shot images and the normal display information but when the shutter is pressed all o see is black. I don't know if the images are being taken or if they aren't. I tried taking of the lense and pressing the shutter and a black box with a **** of light shows. With the lense on nothing but black shows. Is this issue with the lense or body? Any feedback is appreciated.

When you take off the lens and fire off a shot, does the mirror go up and return or does it stay up? If not, is it possible that it is staying up when the lens is connected? When you fire a shot, can you hear it returning? ...
